Apropos OF the dreadful tragedy at
Newbcrry be.aecn two lawyers. Coils.
Jounstone and Jones the COi~mbiN
Rcc0nl very pertinently says:
'perhaps no more dreadful exam
pie of the evil OF carrying concealed
weapons was ever presented than in
the dreadful tragedy reported from
Newberry. Two lawyers, engaged
in case on trial in q court Of Justice.
seem each to have armed himself in
anticipation OF Q difficulty. Each
bore q oAccalel pistol-elsc there
might have been an easy means Of
preventing bloodshcl. Words might
have led to blows-blows stricken in
anger or in response to ail'ront. But
human life wouid not have been
| either taken or c;on endangered.
Tie law against the carrying Of con-
ceaicd weapons must indeed be 4
dead Extraordinarily enough, per-
hapS, since it is not founded on any
fixed public sentiment
There needs to be very radical
change iii public sentiment Oh this
subject in this State. and one way to
do it is to make the penalty more Sc.
we're and to ne more v;gilant in the
enforcement Of the law.
Society should be educated up to
the point OF making it ,Ishonorajle
for any nan to 90 around with y
loaded pistol in his pockc'. About
all tie shooting scrapas grow out Of
| this practice.

The affair has assumed new CON-
plcxion. in that Col. Jones died
from tie effects Of his wound. the yer.
dict Of the Coroner's jury being that
death resulted from Z pistol Shot
wound inflicted by Col. Johnstone,
who was placed under arrest 10 be
tried lor homicide. In the prelipi-
nary examination 4 clear case
selt-defence was established, and
bail was granted Mr.. Johnst one in
the sum Of $500. We notice the
comment oi & few Of our most valued
exchanges on this unfortunate affair,
aud are inclined 10 think some Of
them treat tie case in hand q little
harshly. The people Of Ncwberrv
county, as & rule, are Z iaw-abiding-
people and we feel satisfied that JUS
tice will be mcted out in this case.
In the first place. if Mr.. Jones had
not ~antonly Violated the law against
carrying concealed the ready deadly
weapon, the unfortunate affair would
have been avoided. He has paid
dearly for that violation, and Mr..
JoAustone Will no doubt suffer the
penalty OF Law for carrying concealed
deadly weapons. Eut if the news
paper reports can be relied upon
and we presume they can, for We
think We lave 4 true version Of this
case-Col. Johnstone will have little
trouble in establishing the fact be-
fore 4 court of justice that he acted
in defence Of lis own life. As It
appears. he was not the aggressor. and
only used his pistol when lie Was be.
ing fred upon, defending himself
against his antagonist.
